An experiment in digital pencil. I used two thin-tipped colors - black and white - and did the pencilling on a single layer until I suddenly realized I was no longer sketching, but painting, lol. Then I used additional layers to reduce down the contrast that had been building and return to the goal of simply highlight and shadow.
